Who is POINT

POINT is a not-for-profit organisation brought to you by a collective of designers who passionately believe that London needs a forum to discover, exemplify and discuss the issues that design, in its many forms, creates on a day-to-day basis.

Robin Richmond former Founding Conference Director of Typo London, Georgia Fendley, Founder of Construct and Brand Director of Mulberry (2008- 2013) and Tim Fendley, Founder of Applied, together with Patrick Baglee, Writer-at-large and New York Editor, bring you POINT.

by Robin Richmond, Conference director

Bruce Gilden, the celebrated Magnum photographer has joined the speaker list for POINT London. Bruce’s work explores the way people live and is an uncompromising window on culture and society.

Bruce is renowned for his street photography, and signature use of flash and an intimacy created by the relationship between the camera and his subjects. “I’m known for taking pictures very close, and the older I get, the closer I get.”

His work is characterised by a desire to record the nature of the city, its subcultures and the awkward idiosyncrasies that can found day-to-day on the street. A fuller biography is published on the Speakers page.

We will also show film shorts featuring Magnum Photographers Bruce Gilden and Elliot Erwitt
and film interviews from the late Alan Fletcher from 2005 and also a new interview with Milton Glaser.
